Following a world-wide BAFC support call via the unofficial club forum (www.barrowafc.net) and the Holker Street Newsletter, we would like to thank all Barrow AFC fans who responded and offered their support to this project so far.

During the 15th August Francis and Glenn had the pleasure of meeting up with Mr. Geoff Payne, a lifelong BAFC supporter, for an insightful interview and film shoot high in the Main Club Stand. Stories of Emlyn Hughes, dubious referees and digital technologies were shared over delightful prepacked superstore baguettes, before cruising the far reaches of Walney Island caravan park. We would like to give Geoff our gratitude for his hospitality, time, and a day well spent in the gale-force capital of the North-West.

From Friday the 8th of August, Barrow fans will have the chance to to own their piece of art with a limited edition of prints that will be available to buy from the club shop. The first in a series of works to be presented at the ground during the next six weeks, these limited edition lino prints depict two different views of the ground.Both images come in an edition of ten and are priced at £30 each, with all proceeds going to the club. Individual prints measure approx. 56 x 46cm, are signed and hand-numbered and come packaged in cellophane with a window mount .A larger edition of screen-printed posters priced at £6 will also be available later in the month. Prints can be sent to UK and non-UK addresses with an extra charge for postage.Contact the club shop for further details or email Glenn at:gkboulter@googlemail.com
